You are right abou...Thanks for your letter, darlin.<br />You are right about the two voices.<br />I guess anyone who has experienced great loss but has healthy kids and a great husband may have those voices, like you as well. Hmmmm. I always think of my situation as the secret insanity that new people I meet (if I am walking without crutches) don't yet know, you know?<br /><br />So, about cabs... I am still not comfortable with Shifra taking one. The boys can, and have been for a while, but Shifra never has alone. I will have to talk to her, I know. But, she has no cell phone, and as of yet we are not doing kids-with-cell-phones yet (nobody does), but it does seem easiest that way.<br />Cell phones-- you didn't have to replace lost ones and repair them all the time when you gave them at a young age (9)?<br /><br />love you!<br />SSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944081107347417231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464163302553827777.post-75463427189643566222012-02-29T00:03:11.475+02:002012-02-29T00:03:11.475+02:00Oh hon!
I am listening in!
I hear two voices - one...Oh hon!<br />I am listening in!<br />I hear two voices - one being grateful for what you have and the other confused and upset with the realization of the hard years behind you. Our years were very different, but I know that feeling. <br /><br />Just FYI - my kids started taking cabs at age 9. I talked a lot about how to behave, how to run away, called to ask the license number, talked to them on the cell phone the whole time. Stuff like that. They survived.<br /><br />I love you!<br />RivkaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464163302553827777.post-34689875576122294362012-02-28T23:48:34.523+02:002012-02-28T23:48:34.523+02:00You do rock!

LOL This is too much for one family, and yet your family is thriving and happy, and most importantly, still have you in their lives. I always think about how you might not have been here, and yet G*d kept you here. Painful times, difficult, trying, but still, the joy of your family being intact.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464163302553827777.post-80437087400573261762012-02-28T01:19:21.195+02:002012-02-28T01:19:21.195+02:00Frustration is a normal part of recovery. I'm...Frustration is a normal part of recovery. I'm glad you could get in the car and go but remember, it would not be a sign of failure to allow the girls to ride in a cab. Uncomfortable? Yes. Failure? No.<br /><br />I say do not push too hard. It is not a good thing. The normal two steps forward, one step back but I would not plan on driving until you know you can get in and out without extreme pain. As the PT advances, I'm guessing you will be able to tell when you can do more.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09576506420482747439noreply@blogger.com
